SAVILLS has appointed James Hall to the newly established role of state head of luxury and rural residential, NSW.
Hall brings almost three decades worth of experience to the position, having managed transactions of luxury homes and residences, rural estates, and apartments and achieved price records across Australia, Asia and the UK.
“James’ unparalleled connections and networks, combined with his impressive track record in the luxury real estate and rural lifestyle market, will be a significant asset to our Australian and global residential businesses alike,” said Tom Mott, state managing director at Savills, NSW.
Recent NSW luxury sales have included a two Rose Bay houses changing hands for around $40 million within a month, a Darling Point villa selling for doubling its last sale price at $22 million and a Bellevue Hill house for between $26.5 million and $28.5 million.
Hall has held key positions with leading real estate firms, having held the role of Sales Executive with Christies International Real Estate Sydney.
Here he worked on landmark sales including The Boatshed on Wunulla Road in Point Piper for $38.5 million and rural estate Glen Lorne Mittagong for circa $20 million.
“Our focus is establishing and growing the capabilities in the New South Wales market, initially focusing on Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, North Shore and beaches as well as the Southern Highlands and coastal regions, with potential growth in other markets as the opportunity arises,” said Paul Craig, CEO at Savills Australia and New Zealand.
“This new local luxury and rural residential offering will serve to complement the Savills international residential business, strengthen cross-border capabilities and provide our clients with a truly global service.”
